Battlelab

Based on its range of products in the field of Tactical Data Link and Simulation and supported by an proven methodology, DIGINEXT proposes the Tactical Battlelab concept consisting of interoperable and reliable simulation software solution answering today’s armed forces requirements for testing NATO or National tactical data links (TDL) systems interoperability and compliance with international standards (STANAG and MIL-STD). DIGINEXT’s simulation and testing tools are considered as the golden standard in NATO countries and defence industry offering a network-centric environment to share complex data in mission critical situations. DIGINEXT has developed a wide range of modelling, simulation and testing systems required to run CONOPS and defence systems definition, mission rehearsal and analysis before deployment of Forces

DirectCGF : Breakthrough Computer Generated Forces

DirectCGF (http://www.directcgf.com/) is the unique Network Centric simulation COTS providing the dual capabilities to be used into virtual and live environment. DirectCGF is a cost-effective simulation software for creating, configuring and running tactical scenarios involving various kind of interacting and cooperating platforms. Platforms represent simulated entities and are composed of numerical models that describe their capabilities, equipments and behaviors. DirectCGF is shipped with more than forty different platforms including aircrafts, helicopters, ground vehicles, ships and missiles.

NETX L16/L22

NETX assumes the Tactical Data link network behaviors simulation in order to reproduce its content and limitations in operational conditions. NETX is currently managing L16 and L22 network but can be tailored for a specific National Tactical Data link network and radio terminal.

All data messages generated by a position, are computed by the NETX software before being distributed to all other positions (or one other position in case of an addressed message) according to rules and radio terminal capabilities.

The NETX embedded distribution is processed in accordance with the network design, the radio terminal features, the coverage capability (LOS, terrain intervisibility) and special events added by the operator.

Applications

JICO operators training

CONOPS study under National Tactical Data Links definition

Validation of ground based L16/L22 network design

Key advantages

Interconnection with NILE Reference System (NRS) components to provide high fidelity network behavior to Simulated Units
